well, i thought we were discussing the word 'polyphony'  when you add
qualifiers and deflect your discussions to such as 'early polyphony' and
'polyphonic texture' to distinguish meanings you are discussing different
words.  polyphony means more than one voice. polyphonic texture means different
things at different times in history, and there are numerous such textures, so
changing from a discussion of the noun polyphony to the adjective polyphonic is
really not relevant to the debate.  

i have read the whole thread, and your arguments don't jibe with music history
or the history of english usage.
